Seiko Spring Drive Movement

[bx2vio]

Has anyone seen this? It is pretty damn impressive. The hand ticks so smoothly! Such a revolutionary movement. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXNneAi9bDs&feature=related"]YouTube - The making of the SEIKO Ananta[/ame]

That watch costs a little fortune!!! Impressive indeed though and Seiko should be recognized for it more than it is now!

It's gorgeous.... a grand complication in its own right.....

Yup. They are a stock line of Seiko AU so one of the big ADs in Sydney should have them in stock. If you realy want one let me know I may be able to get a good price.

next time im in the CBD, Ill have a visit

japs are boring in the design of the dial, though....

I would buy a watch with a spring drive if the watches actually looked half decent

although the spring drive is an amazing movement. I would love to see some rep makers rep it but that would be an amazing feat.

One of the truly great movements IMHO. I hadn't seen this video before.

This is how a high quality watch should sweep!

Yeah I actually thought Rolexes had a sweep like that when I started. Was disappointed to find out they're mostly not like that at all. Still better than the one per second sweep on cheapies though!

You call it a one per second "sweep", I call it quartz :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

This movement, and the Bulova Precisionist quartz movement (with 10 seconds PER YEAR accuracy!) , have really impressed me.
